What stops you from creating a module inside a monolith with an interface that provides a self-contained service that does one thing?
- partycoder 8y agoYou can. But one day, some 10xer will be short on time and will duct tape your module with 10 other modules.
- hderms 8y agoThe newish argument for microservices is that they enable compositionality, so wouldn't that same hypothetical apply? I.e. some 10xer is short on time and glues a bunch of microservices together and now you have the same problem but worse because there's no IDE allowing you to trace the code?
